Joe Rogan (0:03)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

SPEAKER_3 (0:06)

Shrain by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

SPEAKER_4 (0:13)

Do it.

SPEAKER_5 (0:13)

Headphones?

Jamie (0:14)

Why not?

Joe Rogan (0:16)

Locksie in. I can't live without the headphones. Every time someone does want to wear headphones, I'm like, okay, we don't have to. You know, some people don't want to mess their hair up. We don't have that problem.

SPEAKER_5 (0:29)

Yeah.

Greg Fitzsimmons (0:30)

How's my hat look?

SPEAKER_5 (0:30)

It looks good.

SPEAKER_7 (0:31)

I like it.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

I like them Paperboy hats.

SPEAKER_4 (0:34)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

I love those. My favorite hats.

SPEAKER_4 (0:36)

Yeah.

Greg Fitzsimmons (0:37)

Well, the reason I do it is because I started wearing hats because after the show, people would take photos with me with my shaved head, and the light would just bounce off my Chrome and you couldn't see me in the photo. So I realized that I wore baseball caps, but then when you're on stage, it puts a shadow over your face. You can't see your face. So I started wearing these.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

Yeah, I love those.

Greg Fitzsimmons (0:59)

I like shaving the head though. I started during the pandemic.

Joe Rogan (1:02)

You should have done that a long time ago. What's that side hair bullshit?

Greg Fitzsimmons (1:05)

I know.

Joe Rogan (1:06)

It's nonsense.

Greg Fitzsimmons (1:07)

I feel so much better like this.

Joe Rogan (1:08)

Also, you have to go to a barber, and listen to some stupid stories. Oh, fuck off.

Greg Fitzsimmons (1:15)

Dude, when I was a teenager, there was a place in New York called the Stag Brothers, and there was these two Italian brothers, and they cut hair, and you go in there, and they had the reason we all went, like our moms would drop us off out front, we'd go inside, and then they had penthouse magazines while you waited. So, you hoped that you got to wait for a while, and then they call you, and like, you got your little 15-year-old erection, you're trying to hide, put the cape over me!

SPEAKER_5 (1:42)

Cover me!

Joe Rogan (1:44)

I always felt like barbershops were guys hung out. That's all just for people who don't play pool. That was always my thought.

Like, I see what you're doing. Like, you're getting a guys' place, where guys can hang out and just talk. Right. But this is not the way to do it. Because people come in, people you don't know come in, you can't tell some dirty story. You know, you can't, you know what I mean?

Greg Fitzsimmons (2:07)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:07)

It's like...

Greg Fitzsimmons (2:09)

That seems to be big in the black culture. I mean, obviously, there's those movies, barbershop, but, I mean, it really is a place that people hang out. But now, you got cigar. Do you like hanging out in cigar shops?

Joe Rogan (2:20)

Yeah. Cigar bars are good. I like it. Because it's one of the rare places where you go to a cigar. I still love that place, the Grand Havana Room in Beverly Hills. It's a great room.

Greg Fitzsimmons (2:29)

People had their own humidor in there? Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:31)

I had a humidor for a long time. And you could eat like nice meals and smoke a cigar. Because it's a private club. So you could have a steak, some pasta, and you're smoking a cigar at the table and everybody's doing it. That's awesome. Yeah. It was cool.

And it was a cool place. Like, oh, look at that guy. Because it was in Beverly Hills.

Greg Fitzsimmons (2:49)

It was a power spot. I remember like Michael Rotenberg member from Three Arts.

Joe Rogan (2:54)

Yeah.

Greg Fitzsimmons (2:55)

Dave Becky. He brought me there once and he had the humidor and he was just pointing up. He was like, yeah, that guy owns Warner Brothers.

Joe Rogan (3:01)

Yeah.

Greg Fitzsimmons (3:02)

That dude is a picture deal over Columbia.

Joe Rogan (3:05)

Yeah. You know who I saw there once?

I was kind of starstruck. Remember that dude from what is the New York Blues? What was it that NYPD Blue? Yeah. Remember NYPD Blue?

Jamie (3:19)

Yeah. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:20)

What's the dude's name?

Jamie (3:20)

Jimmy Smiths?

Joe Rogan (3:22)

No, no, no, no. The first guy.

Greg Fitzsimmons (3:23)

Jerry Orbeck?

Joe Rogan (3:24)

The first guy.

Greg Fitzsimmons (3:26)

Oh, yeah. Dennis Franz?

Joe Rogan (3:28)

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The redheaded guy.

SPEAKER_8 (3:32)

Oh, yeah.

Greg Fitzsimmons (3:34)

He ended up quitting to get a movie career that never happens.
